Line 173:
* Back in season 3 of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', when Rodney was blasted by some weird Ancient technology and worrying about the effects it could have on him, Elizabeth jokingly asked Dr. Beckett, "What are the chances it could make him more pleasant?" Then, in season 5, Rodney contracts a brain parasite whose effects are to take away his memory, drastically reduce his intelligence, and ''make him much friendlier''.
* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]],'' one of the wacky, self-referential [[Milestone Celebration]] episodes had Martin Lloyd mention that it had been suggested that he go with a younger, hipper version of his fictionalized SG-1 for the movie he was making. We get an [[Imagine Spot]] to a hilarious soap-operatic version of Stargate, with Teal'c as [[The Pornomancer]], people stopping to randomly make out during scenes when they really shouldn't, and Vala randomly telling Daniel she's pregnant. Then all other [[Stargate Verse]] projects are flushed in favor of ''[[Stargate Universe]],'' which... seems like they used that scene as a blueprint for a new series without realizing it was supposed to be a joke. Now that SGU has failed (it lasted less than two seasons before its unceremonious cancellation), ''all'' other Stargate projects are [[Franchise Killer|on indefinite hiatus]]. Suddenly, ''200'' isn't nearly as funny as it was when it came out.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'': The episode "The Message" has this exchange that isn't so amusing after [[The Movie]]:
{{quote|'''Jayne''': You'll read over me when it's my time to shuffle off, won't you preacher?
'''Book''': Oh, I'm sure you'll outlive us all. }}
** Another ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' example - in the pilot, when the federal agent falls apart early on in Jayne's interrogation of him, Jayne laments "I was going to get me an ear, too," while playing with his knife. Later on in the series, {{spoiler|Niska's interrogator cuts off Mal's ear with a knife as "compensation" for Zoe}}.
** The scene in "Shindig" where Wash jokes about reading a poem at Zoe's funeral. It's a genuinely sweet and funny scene, {{spoiler|until Wash ends up dying in the Big Damn Movie. }}
** The part in "Heart of Gold" where Zoe and Wash are talking about having a child, and Zoe says, "I want to meet that child someday." Cue tears.
